New South Wales model of decriminalisation and deregulation of prostitution has failed to protect workers in the sex industry while empowering profiteers and criminals, so why is Victoria going down the same path?

It does not matter how often the Victorian government premises the legislative changes as progress towards improving the health, rights, and safety of sex workers.
